Searching For Wholesale Engagement Rings

As the economy deteriorates, the number of new couples ” Searching For Wholesale Engagement Rings” and Diamond Engagement Rings with low prices, seems to be increasing.  Recent studies have discovered that the average amount of money spent on a diamond engagement ring has been decreasing over the past couple of years and is expected to continue to decline to an amount as low as $2800 from an average high of approximately $4800. Many people wonder what is driving this sudden downturn in the average spent on engagement rings.  Although there has been an increased interest in engagement rings of different types, such as colored gemstone engagement rings or wedding bands with no diamonds, the traditional diamond engagement ring is still high on the list of newlyweds-to-be. Now it could be a shift in trends or it could be a tight economy, or it even could be a combination of both. However there is no disputing that couples getting engaged these days are wanting to spend less on their engagement ring. As this happens, we are starting to see an increase in the number of visitors to our engagement rings website, searching for Wholesale Engagement Rings, Discount Diamond rings and cheap diamond rings.  Now I know that our customers are NOT really looking for a cheap engagement ring. What they are really searching for is a nice looking “ENGAGEMENT RING WITH A CHEAP PRICE.”  

Now at SecretDiamond.com we do not sell cheap engagement rings, however we certainly do sell absolutely gorgeous diamond engagement rings with extremely affordable prices.  Our enhanced clarity diamonds are probably one of the best ways to save a significant amount of money on your diamond engagement ring. We also sell diamonds with certification from GIA and EGL. Below is a couple of tips you can use to save money on engagement rings from any source, including a brick and mortar, engagement rings jewelry store.

In the diamonds industry, diamonds are sold in parcels to wholesalers. These diamonds are sold on a “price per carat”  basis. The cost of a 1 carat diamond is higher “per carat” than diamonds that are even slightly smaller. That means that if you purchase a slightly smaller diamond, such as a 0.98 pointer (1 carat is 100 points) you will save some money, because it will cost less “Per Carat.”  Chances are you won’t be able to notice much of a difference (If any at all) in the smaller weight diamond anyway. And remember, diamonds are sold and measured by carat weight, not carat size. This rule also applies to 2 carat diamonds, 3 carat diamonds, 4 carat diamond and so-on. Certain sizes are referred to as “Key weights.” If you stay just under these key weights, you will save money. Another way to save money is probably also one of the best ways.  Lowering your diamonds Clarity grade. Although I don’t recommend lowering the clarity grade so low that you can see the inclusions with your naked eye (Naked eye means without a loupe or a microscope) This is an excellent way to save money on a diamond ring. Many times people are tempted to pay for a higher clarity grade than is really necessary. It is absolutely unnecessary to buy a diamond with a higher clarity grade than VS2 if you are trying to save money on your diamond engagement ring or just get more diamond for your money. You will not be able to tell the difference between a diamond with a VS2 clarity grade or a flawless diamond with your naked eye. And chances are you won’t be able to tell much difference even under a loupe or a microscope if you are not a certified gemologist. And your friends, family and co-workers will never be able to see that you spent extra money to buy a VVS1 diamond just by looking at the diamond. You will have to show them the certification. You will only have bragging rights for all that money you spent, because your diamond may not look any better to them. But chances are that if you are searching for cheap priced engagement rings, you are not looking to spend a fortune.  In most cases it is even fine to go with an SI1 clarity grade diamond, because that is still an eye-clean diamond.  Lowering your clarity grade WILL save you money. And as long as you stay away from the really low clarity grades, you can get an absolutely gorgeous diamond for a lot less money.
